Intended Audience: Newcomers to Pharmacy Informatics and Blockchain
Today's episode is not purely about healthcare, but going over just what is blockchain? It's a technology that's been talked about a lot, but do most people understand what it is?
Tony attempts to explain this in an introductory manner, and then mentions some brief applications of blockchain in healthcare.
